well, alright

it must have been weird back in the day before airplanes and cars and roads. you’d grow up and live and die in the same little town and never really go anywhere else. the world could be giant or tiny or just some floating island in the sky and you wouldn’t really know for sure. it wouldn’t even matter to you. your whole life was like the 30 people in your immediate area and that was it. if you grew up in a town full of assholes that was just what you had to deal with forever. everyone lived with such tiny little glimpses of what the world actually was. even now what do we really know? pilgrims knew what the moon was, but do you think they ever stopped to consider people would fly there one day? do you think they ever stopped to realize san francisco and san diego were both in california? where did they think they were? i don’t know, some other state? maybe they just never really thought about it, geez.
